Editor,
I just read your article from June on the return of the sand shrimpers. I live on Witter Beach, just south and around the point from Sandy Point Beach. Two years ago, before the shrimping ban was imposed, the commercial shrimpers drove almost 100 stakes into the sand just south of our beach 3 feet under the sand and 3 feet above in order to prevent the whales from getting the shrimp there. Our friend took pictures and gave them to us and we turned them over to someone else and a chain was made whereby the ban was put in place.
